ABOUT ROJOR

Biography

Following support from BBC Radio 2 and BBC Scotland singer/songwriter ROJOR (pronounced Ro-jaw) returned in 2018 with a six track EP 'Blood & Bones' on the back of melancholy electro-pop single 'Disconnected', which showcased as BBC Tees INTRODUCING 'Track of the Week'. The mini-album also includes the melodic 'When the Angels Come' and the haunting 'Flower of the Tees'.

2017 saw the single 'Only Luv Can Hurt' as a showcase for a fantastic album'For The Uninitiated'. The melancholy EDM pop track highlights his knack for universal and emotive songwriting and radio friendly pop hooks. It sits perfectly with fourteen other tracks on a spectacular retrospective, which includes re-workings of tracks such as 'Mercy', 'On Your Radar', 'Solace and 'Colours in my Heart Explode'. The album also includes radio tracks 'Everytime I See Her', Planet Ride', 'Kane's Song', 'The First Time Again' and 'Just One Day'.

Hailing from Teesside on the North East coast of England, ROJOR's 2015 album 'Fatally Beautiful' showcased singles 'Everytime I See Her' and 'Planet Ride' both of which played out across the UK on the nation's most listened to station BBC RADIO 2.

Comparisons range from One Republic, New Order, The Blue Nile, Bowie, The Lightning Seeds, St Etienne, Prefab Sprout and Prince to Aimee Mann and John Cale. ROJOR has been described in the press as "the undiscovered genius" and his songs as "sexy", "extensively moody" and "ethereal"; his lyrics as "intelligent and inspiring".

ROJOR has played live with the likes of Romeo Stodart of The Magic Numbers, Ren Harvieu, Wet Wet Wet's Graeme Clarke and Martin Stephenson. ROJOR has also headlined the ‘FTWL Stage’ at BBC Music Live (Middlesbrough) to a big festival audience, but he is also equally at home in more intimate live surroundings where the true essence of his beautiful songs is often best captured.

The digital age has meant that once limited edition early demos/cassette albums have now been remastered and added to the discography - and in recent years these have also become available on all good digital streaming platforms.
